The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
An extraordinary novel. Classed as scifi, but much more. A vision of future Thailand, where there are elements of genetic manipulation of animals and plants in a precarious society. A realistic and thoughtful extrapolation of worrisome current trends energizes the story. It could easily be compared with the rich vision of William Gibson.
